After the Goblet of Fire was sent away, it was still a topic of conversation: who could represent Hogwarts, who would win the final victory? Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoFew people can still calm down and study hard, even Zhao Mai has to reduce the number of times he goes to the classroom and work more in the potion shop.

By March 7, 1919, taxis had finally regained the ability to travel around the world. Because everyone already has a way to live forever, Zhao Mai is not very anxious to go to other worlds immediately, and is still busy preparing for the "New Era Young Wizard Competition". Dumbledore revealed that Atlantis was a city floating on the water in the starry sky, where magical magic and knowledge were located, and where the ancient gods once lived, and it would be a blessing to be able to go there. After Dumbledore said this, Zhao Mai naturally raised a lot of interest. Origin World: Alda is good, but Zhao Mai plans to leave after completing his trip to Atlantis.

But things often go unexpectedly, and as soon as the list of the "New Era Young Wizard Tournament" was announced, everyone was stunned. There are three young wizards at Hogwarts, including Barbara Flamel, but not Zhao Mai. Dumbledore found this very strange and immediately ran to question the Athletic Committee.

"The Goblet of Fire was chosen based on magical knowledge and magical skills, both of which Mike was the best student at Hogwarts!" his voice was calm and loud, and the wooden door of the Athletic Committee of the Ministry of Magic could not stop the sound from coming out and echoing in the hallway. "I'm involved in the magic transformation of the Goblet of Fire, and there is no way that the Goblet of Fire will have a problem, so it will be the competition committee that will have a problem!"

"Professor Dumbledore, I assure you that the committee is absolutely fair and impartial. Commissioner Marams of the Ministry of Magic kept wiping his sweat with a handkerchief: "The three British contestants, Barbara Flamel is French, Rose is black, and Jaedin Sharma is from the Indian colonies. Please believe us, we have not tampered with this list, otherwise it would never be like this. ”

"All three of them were excellent students, but only Mike was the best choice. Dumbledore also felt that something was wrong when he saw the list, there were too many strange names appearing, and there was a strange smell in them. If Hogwarts students must be involved, then Mike is the safest and most capable of protecting students from accidents. While it would be unfair to a student who has already been allowed to participate, Dumbledore still believes that safety should come first.

"The list has been finalized and cannot be changed. Atlantis was already preparing to take on the contestants, and it was too late to say anything. Maramth continued to wipe his sweat, "Dumbledore, do you know what is written on this piece of paper in front of me? Because the players representing Great Britain are the current three, someone has to take on that responsibility. And I suggest that you serve as a commissioner after me so that you can better take care of the three Hogwarts students. ”

"I? no, it should be Principal Duppert. Dumbledore swore not to follow the path of politics and power, so he immediately excused himself.

"Principal Dippert is good. Malams stood up, threw away the soaked handkerchief in his hand, straightened his neck, swallowed his saliva, and walked out with his head held high. At the Ministry of Magic, there will be a storm waiting for him, and there will be more battles ahead.

And in Hogsmeade Village, Barbara raised her head from time to time to look at Zhao Mai, pursed her lips and did not speak.

"Just ask if there's anything. Zhao Mai frowned. He is studying a book called "Spell Analysis", and every time Barbara "stares" at him, it triggers his perception of his surroundings, which affects his reading to a certain extent.

"Did you really sign up?"

"I've said it a million times, and I did put my name in, and Professor Dumbledore can testify for me. Zhao Mai didn't raise his head, and continued: "I didn't have to go to class, I went early, I was the first to put my name in, and then I left, so you didn't see me." ”

"But...... However, I didn't write my own name, and I threw your name into it. Barbara lay on the table, her arms folded, her head shaking from side to side: "Who wrote my name? Who is so boring? And why didn't you make the cut?"

"How do I know this?" Zhao Mai sighed. "Don't think about it if it's already happening. I've given you everything I've prepared, and I wish you a safe and happy stay at Atlantis. ”

Barbara sat up straight and said with a smile, "You have something for me?

"Mostly potions, but also some research notes and maps that might be useful. I doubt the accuracy of these maps, and most of the information about Atlantis is conjecture and estimates. Zhao Mai pointed to the table next to Barbara and said to her, "Everything is in it, just take it with you when you leave." I feel like you should contact your grandfather as soon as possible and ask him for guidance and help, instead of sitting with me in a daze. ”

Barbara smiled, swept away the gloom in her heart, and opened the table excitedly. "Hey, why are there two bags?"

"The other one is for Diana Prince, who is also a contestant. Zhao Mai shook his head, he really didn't understand what the criteria for selecting the Goblet of Fire were. "Remember, Barbara, if in case of danger, go to Diana for help, listen to her, and don't take any more risks like in the Forbidden Forest. ”

"Oh......" Barbara rubbed her nose and picked up both bags and put them on her body, "How about I just help you take the bag to her, we'll meet anyway." ”

She thought that Zhao Mai would object, after all, sending a bag was a rare opportunity to meet. Unexpectedly, he nodded directly and replied: "Yes." When are you leaving?"

"Are you going to see me off, great!" Barbara shook her fist vigorously and said with a smile, "There are still three days, and then we will meet directly from the gates of Hogwarts, and there will be a shapeshifting conveyor belt for us to go." ”

"If you go to Atlantis, then I'll take advantage of the quieter time to go somewhere else. Zhao Mai felt that when everyone's eyes were focused on the Quidditch World Cup and the New Age Young Wizarding Tournament, leaving Hogwarts and going to Alda was the least likely to attract attention. Others may think that he didn't make it to the competition, and he is hiding from the gaze somewhere. He made up his mind, and then said to Barbara, "In that case, then I'll send you off." ”
